So good we had to pack an extra night of music in... 8/8 through 8/14

We're having so much fun that we decided to pack an extra night of music in this week!
We've added a very special Sunday night show we think you'll dig!

Have you checked out the Trivia A Go-Go night on Tuesdays? You should! It's free each Tuesday (upstairs) and is hosted by Zander & Andrew.  

Let me get to the week that is packed full of phenomenal music!

Monday, August 8th
Sonic Forum: The Goodfoot Open-Mic Night
Doors open 8:00pm | $1 cover | 21+
As a former open-mic performer, I am always amazed at how fantastic Sonic Forum is. Of course I'm a bit biased, but let me turn my focus to the benefits for musicians... You pay a $1 cover (everyone pays, musicians, audience, etc.) and you get 2 professionals; Ji Tanzer (legendary local drummer & host of Sonic Forum) and Bryan Appel (professional sound engineer & local musician). Musicians have the option to pay an additional $5 and get a digital recording of their performance (right from the soundboard). Everyone in attendance has a chance to vote for their favorite. The winner receives $50 worth of Goodfoot Gift Certificates (good for food & drink). For the music lovers, this evening is always entertaining and often offers a jaw dropping surprise. You never know what magic could happen! 

Tuesday, August 9th 
The Scott Pemberton Trio
Doors 9pm | FREE | 21+
Tuesday nights are on fire. It's so much fun to watch this evening progress. The band takes the stage at about 9:30pm. The room always seems to begin filling up around 9:45pm and by 10:30pm it becomes a full-on party as the band gets everyone movin' & groovin'. Add to this mix our food service downstairs, fantastic line-up of beers, great 'no frills' drinks, and fantastic people and you've got one hell of a Tuesday evening.

Wednesday, August 10th
Future Beat Session 9 (FB9)
Doors 9pm | $3 cover | 2
I love Future Beat. This monthly event showcases talented local DJs (with the occasional guests from abroad). It's an evening that is filled with boom bap, glitch, neo soul & experimental music. FB continues the summer fun with a special guest for August - LZRKMMNDR (*it's like laser commander) AKA Mr. Bambu, all the way in from Florida. He's joined by your Future Beat buddies & residents Brazil, Carrier + Ryan Organ.

Thursday, August 11th
Fruition
Doors 9pm | $6 cover | 21+
It's no secret that The Goodfoot loves Fruition. We have so many wonderful relationships with the musicians and artists who we're fortunate enough to have under our roof. There's something about an evening of music with Fruition that leaves you feeling fantastic! Fruition tours (or detours) are a mix of spontaneous street concerts, rowdy saloon hoedowns and all-night house parties. The band is becoming well known for their timeless brand of harmony-driven folk/soul string music. They've recently shared stages with Hot Buttered Rum, Greensky Bluegrass, the Watertower Bucket Boys, Danny Barnes, the Absinth Quartet, the Quick & Easy Boys, Dead Winter Carpenters, Hillstomp, Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank, and members of both ALO and Tea Leaf Green. 

Friday, August 12th
Soul Stew w/DJ Aquaman & Friends
Doors 9pm / Music 10pm | $5 cover | 21+
Portland's longest running funk, soul dance night! Join DJ Aquaman & Friends for an evening of sexy hot pants, booty shakin', hot & sweaty fun fueled by funk, soul, disco & break beats. Come see why Soul Stew has satisfied thousands dancers.

Scott Pemberton Superband w/Mike Dillon's Go-Go Jungle
Doors 9pm | $8 cover | 21+
It’s that time again! SP Superband (the expanded version of the trio) steps in the room to tear some s@*t up! These shows are becoming the stuff of local legend, so don’t miss the band as they roll through funk, rock, surf and psychedelia. Tonight they are joined by Mike Dillon (Les Claypool, Critters Buggin’, Garage-a-Trois) and his inventive Go-Go Jungle, who should not be missed.

Sunday, August 14th
Euforquestra
Doors 9pm | $6 cover | 21+
Originally from Iowa City, IA, Eufórquestra (pronounced: yoo • FOHR • keh • struh, think Euphoria+Orchestra) relocated to Fort Collins, CO in August 2008 and has made a splash on the Colorado music scene with its progressive, genre-crossing funk fusions and a relentless tour schedule. Eufórquestra is quickly spreading its self-proclaimed “Afro-Caribbean-Barnyard-Funk;” a unique, rhythmic blend of sound, integrating such genres as Afrobeat, Reggae, Afro-Cuban, Samba, Soca, Funk, Salsa, and Dub. Eufórquestra’s music is igniting dance floors across the country, with a sound that “explodes, dances and melts in your ear with sheer bliss” (Chris M. Slawecki; AllAboutJazz.com).

Welcome August! Welcome Summer! Let's get this party started... Here's what's happening the week of 8/1 through 8/6

Summer seems to have decided to start in August here.
We'll take it.
I'm often times shocked at the things we have to offer throughout the week.

We're still rockin' our specials daily.
The free pool tables have been wildly popular and everyone comments about how sweet they are now that they have been re-felted.

Here's what's happening this week:

Pocket kicks off the night with a combination of vintage and contemporary funk/jazz covers and an ever expanding library of original material, Pocket is adept at transferring their energy and passion for the music directly to their audience, creating a dance party of epic proportions. 

Thursday, August 4th
Otis Heat w/Unicorn Domination
$6 cover | Doors 9pm | 21 and over
Oregon Music News writes: "Otis Heat is known for delivering energetic and animated live performances distinguished by warm danceable grooves, impassioned vocals, dirty rhythms, and high voltage analog instrumentation. The band has earned a reputation as a recognizable musical force throughout the Pacific Northwest. Their inspirations, educations, and motivations draw from a wide spectrum of musical influences, from the giants of jazz, to the soul of Nina Simone, to the honesty of Neil Young, to the ferocity of the 1990s grunge movement, to the proficiency of the British invaders. The result is a dynamic and ever-growing body of work which never fails to capture the imagination of its audiences."

Joining Otis Heat is Unicorn Domination. Thriving in the rich performance art culture of Portland, OR, is Chelsea Dixon and Clint Havard's music project Unicorn Domination. The duo weaves a soundscape of fat electronic beats spliced with melodic hooks. They demonstrate an expressive live performance, exuding a superhero persona with a popping delivery. Inspiration lies in the symbol of the Unicorn, a playful and fierce beast of the magical world.

Friday, August 5th
1st Friday Super Jam w/DJ Magneto & Friends
$5 cover | Doors 9pm | 21 and over
The first Friday of each month means that its time once again for DJ Magneto and friends to take the helm downstairs and steer everyone toward a super jam of epic funk, soul, disco & hip hop proportions. Caution: if you feel that you might get blinded by shaking booties in hot pants you may want to avert your eyes!

Saturday, August 6th
JUJUBA
$8 cover | Doors 9pm | 21 and over
"How YOU Feelin'?" Ready to dance your hearts out? Jujuba is one of the Goodfoot favorites. They're an ultra funky Afrobeat and Juju band led by master talking drummer, Nojeem Lasisi (King Sunny Ade). Grounded in solid drumming (provided by drum kit and massive African percussion), rubbery bass lines and layers of floating brass, Jujuba shows are grand and sweaty dance parties for the people!
